<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 602001, member: 2972&quot;]I believe the coin&#039;s color is not natural for the following reasons:</p><p><br /></p><p>o It has lots of chatter on the cheek and high-point wear, and any 1843 with that saw that much circulation wouldn&#039;t be this red color.</p><p><br /></p><p>o The color appears over &quot;shiny&quot; not &quot;lustrous&quot; surfaces.&nbsp; Red coins almost always have luster underneath.&nbsp; Recolored coins, like the one pictured, are shiny underneath.</p><p><br /></p><p>o The color is &quot;off&quot;.&nbsp; It&#039;s a pumpkin color, not a copper color.</p><p><br /></p><p>o It&#039;s an 1843, and red or even RB 1843&#039;s are seriously rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s actually a pretty good recoloring job, IMO, and would fool the inexperienced....Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
